Non-surgical repositioning of dentoalveolar fracture – A case report

Abstract

Trauma is the one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in children. Although less, maxillofacial fractures contribute to an important part of morbidity in children. Here is a case of severe dento-alveolar fracture with intruded and displaced anterior teeth which was treated conservatively by heavy orthodontic wires. The greater osteogenic potential and faster healing rate in children help us to treat with conservative therapeutic procedures and with minimal displacement of fractures.
